But that's not really what the Buddha said. He said "this is not me, this is not mine, this is not my self." It's a whole lot simpler than a categorical "there is not such thing...", which can legitimately be challenged logically. Again, the Buddha was concerned not with metaphysics of ontology, but a practical method to find peace of mind.
Well explained. Thanks

You know, your post reminded me of this sutta, here, that I just read: Khemaka Sutta

I thought this was a really lovely, poignant & honest sutta.

With metta
